KW V3 noise after install

i just installed KW V3 today but there is a weird noise coming from rear passenger side. The sound is like old box spring. I can hear the noise at low speed... bumps and when i make a right turn.

Is there anyway that i can make the noise go away?

Thanks

Did you make sure everything was tight on the coilovers themselves. I had some one complain about noise the other day and his pillowball mounts were loose. I would double check everything and than go from there.

Maybe you got a set of BC coils painted up like KW?

Just kidding. As mentioned, check your install. Make sure everything is tightened down correctly. If all else fails, completely remove, inspect, and reinstall the spring and the shock on that side. It doesn't take that long on the rears. Maybe 30 minutes.

I tend to agree with BB on this one. Usually it's installation as these are high quality coilovers and I wouldn't expect any noise from them if installed correctly. I'm assuming your spring pads and gaskets are all in good shape or replaced? Everything was bolted down snugly (not over tight)?
